Police Killing of Grammy-Winning Producer Ruled Justified Despite Questions

  • A Tennessee prosecutor deemed the police shooting of Grammy-winning producer Mark Capps reasonably necessary despite some experts questioning the tactics.
  • Capps was shot after opening his front door armed while officers were there to arrest him for assaulting and kidnapping his wife and stepdaughter.
  • Video shows Capps emerged with a gun in hand before an officer fatally shot him within seconds.
  • Capps won four Grammys for engineering and producing polka albums.
  • Questions remain about whether SWAT officers should have used less lethal force and different tactics in a welfare check that turned deadly.
